I am new to OpenBSD. And I need help...

I have booted from CD, I have partitioned, configured the network and
installed the sets by ftp. I have answered "yes" to sshd and X, and I have
set the time zone.

Then suddenly the screen says someting about "fatal page fault in
supervisor mode" and reboots before I have time to reat it all.

What is wrong??

Jardar

I am able to fsck the partitions, mount wd0a and run installboot.
But when I try to boot, I get these messages:

Automatic boot in progress: starting file system checks.
/dev/wd0a (No such file or directory)Can't stat /dev/wd0a
/dev/wd0a (No such file or directory)Can't stat /dev/wd0a
Can't stat /wd0a: Mo such file or directory
CAN'T CHECK FILE SYSTEM.
/dev/wd0a: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck_ffs MANUALLY.
Autopatic file system check failed; help!
Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for sh:

Bad memory chips, buggy disk controller or failing disk drive are the
first few things which come to mind. The mention of /dev/whatever not
existing in your second post sounds like for some reason MAKEDEV did not
run properly or at all during the install.

At this point a dmesg would be helpful (see the faq for how to get one
even before the system is completely installed) and pretty much required
if posting on misc@

Actually, after a quick Google-search I booted from CD, mounted /dev/wd0a
on /mnt and discovered that indeed there were no wd0* devices in /mnt/dev.

So the next step was:

sh MAKEDEV wd0

and similar for the other partitions. When I rebooted from the hard disk,
it all worked great!

Summary:

1) Boot from CD, do the install.
2) The install program exits with an error when it is about to installboot.
3) fsck the partitions.
4) mount /dev/wd0a /mnt
5) /usr/mdec/installboot -v /mnt/boot /usr/mdec/biosboot wd0
6) cd /mnt/dev
7) sh MAKEDEV wd0 (and so on)
8) Eject cd and reboot.

A final question from a novice: Should /dev/wd0 exist?
And in /etc/fstab I cannot find the swap partition. Should I add it?

so Something Horrible happened during the install.

Good thing it was fixable.

> A final question from a novice: Should /dev/wd0 exist?

on a randomly chosen OpenBSD box here,

peter@skapet:~$ ls -l /dev/wd0
ls: /dev/wd0: No such file or directory
peter@skapet:~$ ls -l /dev/wd0*
brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0 Oct 19 00:02 /dev/wd0a
brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 1 Oct 19 00:02 /dev/wd0b

brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 10 Oct 19 00:02 /dev/wd0k
brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 11 Oct 19 00:02 /dev/wd0l

brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 13 Oct 19 00:02 /dev/wd0n
brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 14 Oct 19 00:02 /dev/wd0o
brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 15 Oct 19 00:02 /dev/wd0p

so /dev/wd0 does not exist.

> And in /etc/fstab I cannot find the swap partition. Should I add it?

on the same machine,

peter@skapet:~$ cat /etc/fstab
#/dev/wd1a / ffs rw 1 1
/dev/wd2a / ffs rw 1 1
/dev/wd1a /home ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2
/dev/wd0a /var ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2
/dev/wd0b none swap sw 0 0

which indicates that you would want a line similar to the last one in
yours as well.

On the whole it looks like the main problem was that the installer did
not get to finish properly. I still suspect bad or not fully supported
hardware as the root cause. I would spend some time troubleshooting that
before putting the box into any kind of serious production use.

Obviously. I am not allowed to use vi ("Stopped (tty output)"), and I am
also not allowed to log in with ssh. But scp works (from the outside, not
from the inside), so here is the output of dmesg. Does any of it make
sense?

The first could mean that your termcap is invalid. The second probably
that ssh was not enabled. Symptoms of an incomplete install, both of
them.

You could try to simply extract the file sets, ie tar zxvf *tgz, either
directly on top of your incompete install or to somewhere safer, copying
across such things as /etc/termcap if missing or damaged.

That's really weird. Try locating the part of the installer which comes
immediately after

"Start sshd(8) by default?"

and try running those steps by hand.

Lots of hardware getting recognized, but nothing truly obvious which
would cause your problem, which could of course mean simply that I'm
just not all that well informed about some of the devices. One of your
disks does not have a BSD disk label, but that may be intentional
(multibooting perhaps).

Anyway, bad memory chips or improperly seated ones is one possible
cause, as is heating problems, a damaged install medium and so on.

Did you install from an official CD set? Does network install of 3.6 or
even a -current snapshot fail in the same ways?

I made a boot-disk from an iso-image called cd36.iso.
Then the installer downloaded the packages from an ftp server.

which came from /pub/OpenBSD/3.6/$arch on a friendly mirror, I assume.

I'm still fairly convinced failing hardware is the cause, but you
*could* try downloading al the files and veryfying the md5 sums.

Now IF the problem is not BAD hardware, but possibly insufficiently
supported harde, trying the cd36.iso from /pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/$arch
could be useful.

ftp.uninett.no should be friendly.

Didn't work either.

I have an AMD Sempron CPU, but I cannot find it in the Supported Hardware
section of www.openbsd.org. Could this be the root of the problem?
